COVID booster appointment

So much for last COVID vaccine jab, huh? 

Got a text notification about checking the contact tracing app for the booster shot appointment last week. 

I dunno if the system was sick in the mind or what, but it was gonna be at a fertility centre (Alpha in Kota Damansara) on a Thursday afternoon. Had so much annual leave, I figured I might as well take the day off just cos. 

The morning of I was pottering around the house (also cos I woke a little late) before finally leaving for the appointment. 

As the location was in Strand mall (one of the more deserted ones), it was cheaper to park outside and pay street parking instead of parking inside because you're not gonna be that long. 

Registration counter

In case anyone had any doubts which jab you're getting

Because it was only one counter, had to wait la

Well that explains it

Checked in at the registration counter, where the guy manning it had to give a whole spiel (to everyone it seems, cos he got it down pat) about how you're getting Pfizer as a booster shot before (or after?) asking about any reactions to the previous jabs. At least he helped out with everyone's forms (he wrote your name, IC and health declaration sections) and you didn't need to do anything else after getting the filled out form and queue number other than wait for your turn. 

The injection booth was right across from the registration counter. They did a whole thing of showing you the vaccine going into the syringe, amount of vaccine (0.3 ml)... at least the bandage was nicer than the cotton ball and pore tape combo I got at the PPV. Collected the vaccine card at the counter in the next booth before finally leaving. Waiting for my turn took up most of the time, because my hour of parking was almost up by the time I got back to the car. 

No goodie bag this time

Because the jab appointment was during lunch hour (1.30 p.m.) and I had a late-ish breakfast, the only way for me to celebrate was to try my luck at the new Taco Bell for lunch. The dine-in line wasn't long when I went, but it was almost 3 p.m. by the time I sat down to eat the Crunchwrap Supreme and was really close to biting off people's heads from hanger. 

Sadly, no different flavoured Mountain Dew like Baja Blast, etc
